I am using levelplot() from lattice with grids that have unequal cell sizes. This means that the boundary between two cells is not always half-way between nodes, as levelplot() assumes. The result is that some cell sizes are rendered incorrectly, which can be painfully obvious if using relatively large cells. Is there any work-around? I am using the conditioning capability of lattice and

I can't find a way to change just the panel background color in lattice. I would like NA regions in levelplot() to appear black. I've tried the trellis.par.set() stuff, but it it makes the background of the whole graphic black. Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at _ pnl.gov

I'm making some 3D plots with contour3d from misc3d and wireframe from lattice. I want to view them from below; i.e. the negative z-axis. I can't figure out how to do so. I would like my point of view looking up from below, with the z, y, and x axes positive going away. Can anyone tell me the correct settings for screen to achieve this? Here is what I've found so far:

Can anyone tell me how to obtain a custom scale for the colorkey in each levelplot of a lattice? I am using lattice and levelplot to plot z = f(x, y) for multiple z variables. x and y values are the same across plots, but units for z are different and therefore I need to create a custom scale for each plot's key. It follows that I need to place each plot's key inside that plot's

When I generate levelplot figures with Postscript, the lines from the underlying grid (i.e., the x and y in z ~ x* y) show up as faint white lines in the output. If I have a dense grid, the lines wash out the contour colors. I can avoid the problem if I use png instead, but that brings up other problems. Any ideas for how I can get Postscript to not show those lines around the cells? Scott

I'm looking for a way to plot lines on top of a levelplot(), where the lines are borders between cells of different values. The clines() function provides contours suitable for continuous data. I am dealing with discrete values, spatial clusters of nodes where each cluster has an integer value, and I want to plot the borderlines between these areas. So, in a levelplot having nodes with

Hi, I'm trying to install rimage on a Mac OS X 10.4 machine. I followed the advice in previous R-help threads and got over the hurdles of having the header files in the right places, among other things. But I can't figure out what to do with this error. ice.pnl.gov:/home/waichler<949>system_profiler -detailLevel mini SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview:

Hi, I often use the mod() and instring() functions that are available in the clim.pact package. This package has a lot of dependencies, including installation of netCDF, and I haven't yet been able to get library(clim.pact) to work on a Mac OS 10.4.6. A previous request for help with the Mac problem yielded no results, so now I wonder if I could just extract the definitions for the couple

I am looking for examples of how to plot with contour3d() to a PNG or PDF file, add axes and other elements to the isosurface plot, and use contour3d in conjunction with lattice. Regarding lattice, I'm not necessarily looking for conditioning on the data shown in the isosurface plots, just a way to show multiple plots in one figure and label them. I am new to the packages misc3d and rgl.

I can't get the scales parameter in xyplot of lattice to work as I expected. I'm using R-2.1.0 and lattice 0.11-8. There should be year labels from 1992 to 2004 for the x axis in the plot below, but instead only a few of them appear, and in the wrong spots, as if the coordinate system has changed after finishing with the panel function. library(chron) library(lattice) # vertical grid

R-2.2.1 is still not available for Redhat Linux as an RPM on CRAN. It is available as an SRPM. Can someone fill me in on why it takes so long to make RPMs available? I would be happy to help make the RPMs for el4 and el3 if such help is needed. Regards, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at_ pnl.gov

Hello, I am trying to do model autocalibration using the snow and rgenoud packages. The function I want to run in task-parallel fashion across multiple machines is one that pre- and post-processes data and runs an external model code. My problem is that external file I/O is happening only in the master node and not in the slaves. I have followed Jasjeet Sekhon's suggestion to test the

I have been using the sp package to deal with gridded data. I would like to know how to extract the vertices (x,y) of polygons that outline areas of like-valued cells in a grid. Here is a simple 3x3 grid: 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 x <- c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3) # define a 3 x 3 array of points y <- c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) h <- SpatialPoints(cbind(x,y)) # make these an sp object of the points

I use some computers that run older versions of Redhat Linux such as EL3. RPMs for the current version of R are no longer provided via CRAN for these older operating system versions. How can I compile my own RPM for the current version of R, which I could then use to install R quickly and easily on multiple machines? Perhaps the answer to this would be a useful addition to the manual R

I have a script containing an xyplot() to print to a postscript file, followed by dev.off(). When I source the script, the dev.off() seems to cut off the xyplot() execution before it is finished. The resulting postscript file has about the right size, but it appears blank when I try to view it. If I manually execute the xyplot(), then wait for the return of the R prompt before executing

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are

Hello, I would like to fill the rows of a Latex tabular environment with output from R, as in \begin{table} \caption{Table caption.} \label{tab:events} \begin{tabular}{c r r r r r} \hline <<echo=false,results=tex>>= fill.my.table.rows() @ \end{tabular} \end{table} Sweave produces the output inside \begin{Schunk} and \end{Schunk} commands, which latex doesn't

I would like to use a map or aerial photo as a background to plotting solid lines and text, and semi-transparent color contours, in base and lattice graphics. Plot coordinates need to be consistent with the georeferenced background. For example, a color contour plot would have an gray-toned aerial photograph as a background for overprinted semi-transparent color contours of some spatially

I would like to create a barchart that has vertical instead of horizontal bars. My goal is something similar to Figure 6.10 (p. 166) in "The Basics of S and S-plus," except for the orientation of the bars. I don't think bwplot() or xyplot() will work. Any suggestions?

I am trying to process text fields scanned in from a csv file that is output from the Windows database program FileMakerPro. The characters onscreen look like regular text, but R does not like their underlying binary form. For example, one of text fields contains a name and a number, but R recognizes the number as something other than what it appears to be in plain text. The character string
